Answer
Charles XV has no lineage connected to the present-day Swedish royal family. His dynasty, the House of Holstein-Gottorp, was succeeded by the House of Bernadotte in 1818, when Charles XIV John ascended to the throne. The current monarch, Carl XVI Gustaf, is a direct descendant of Charles XIV John, making the Bernadotte family the reigning royal house of Sweden.
